MVP PRO Auto Key Programmer Review | Mr. Locksmith Automotive

My daily Auto Key Programmer is the HotWire and the MVP Pro. I am on the unlimited token plan for both programmers. For the past 5+ years, I have been purchasing and testing “Offshore Auto Key Programmers.”

I have several Off Shore MVP clones. The price was so low, we keep on testing to see if any Off Shore Key Programmer could replace our existing programmers.

The MVP Clones are poorly made and no consistency or reliability with the software.

One Off Shore clone will program Ford and Chrysler but not Honda. Another identical clone will do Honda but not some Fords.
Another clone may work on a Nissan, but no one unit will do everything. It’s just been a zero.

So we kept on buying these, kept on testing them. Our dongles would break. The units would break. They’d fall apart. The software was inconsistent.

However, we found one clone that consistently worked well with Honda reflashes, specifically the 1998-2002 Honda Preludes.

In the early day we were just trying to save tokens, and really did we save any money? No, the clones were not good. There’s no consistency.

But again, if you don’t try, you don’t know. And there are some good units out there that the Chinese are coming out with now that are making some of the good stuff look bad.

Some of the new offshore auto key programmers they are using their own software, their own designs, and they are not clones or scammer units. Some of the Off Shore Key Programmers actually seem to be getting there.

Well, they’re coming out with nice updates on them, so they are becoming consistent.

The thing is with everything, you could have an Offshore made, really good programmer, and now they have counterfeit units of that that are total garbage.

So why are some of these Auto Key Programmers $300 and the other unit’s $50? The $50 unit is a total clone and it’s a total piece of garbage. How do you know? You don’t. That’s the big problem.

One way to find out is if you read the automotive forums.

Talk to other Locksmiths and view our videos.

The various plugins quality was all over the map. Some very good forums on Facebook, KeyPro website, ClearStar, etc.

So far, again, we’ve talked about this before, our go-to units are the MVP Pro and Hotwire.

Testimonials

Upgraded my door lock to an Abloy deadbolt. Michael provided stellar service: prompt, friendly, and took the time to explain the workings of the lock. Everything about the lock replacement was top-notch. Not only am I happy to have gotten rid of the cheap deadbolt I had before (he demonstrated that it could be picked in under 10 seconds… yikes!) but I know who I can trust for any future home security needs.

We had a rare request for a special type of lock because of the unique situation we are in and Michael understood, took care of it for us and gave us ideas with our different locking system that were very useful. We just moved and used Michael’s services again because he’s professional, reliable and personable.

I contacted Michael after i locked myself inside out. Within 30 mins, he came into my house, helped me unlocked the door, and repair my door knob without any charge. Due to the fact, he made a promise of 2 years warrantee, and he kept the promise, and kept a nice, chill attitude for the whole time. I highly recommend him

Sent a request for a re-keying job via their website and got a prompt response back the next day from Michael Lee, who was very professional and knowledgeable. We ended up getting Michael back to upgrade our all our locks. We are very happy with the work and his service. I would highly recommend Mr.Locksmith and would definitely use them again.

We called Mr. Locksmith (Michael Lee) and received prompt, efficient, professional service. He advised what our best solution would be and improved security, then installed it immediately. We paid by MasterCard and it was all done in an hour. Great service!
